SuperTalk Outdoors with Rickey Matthews: Ramsey Russell GetDucks.com

Ramsey Russell GetDucks

Ramsey Russell, GetDucks.com, joins SuperTalk Outdoors with Rickey Matthews to tell of traveling around the world duck hunting but still calling Mississippi home. Growing up in the Mississippi Delta, he was taught hunting by his grandfather.

Duck hunting is about the passion, the quest, the authenticity of adventure. ‘Somewhere in the world, it’s always duck season”–especially in the most remote, wild pure destinations on earth. There are ducks galore in many places we hunt, some incredibly unique species, but for Ramsey Russell it’s not about collecting trophies or accruing numbers. It’s about collecting experiences.

Pacific Flyway: Historic Waterfowling Images

Pacific FlywayTo this day, it still amazes me that my own grandfather’s half-century worth of hunting and fishing experiences can be summarized in a slender binder of maybe a couple dozen old self-adhesive pages. In just a few page flips, black-and-white photos transition to time-yellowed color photos of tar-papered camp cabins across the river; of fabled wet dogs that made legendary retrieves, talked about at more family suppers than can be remembered; of smiling little boys who became my father, uncle and family friends; and of my grandfather himself, the man who had grown much older by the time he mentored me.

I’ve spent countless hours studying those photos of bygone times. And I’ve oftentimes wondered if Grandfather would have written detailed captions— which is to say, any at all — had he known how treasured a family possession like that single album would become. Because, see, those old photos are the perfect summation of my own past, present and future as pertains to waterfowl hunting.

Photographs are powerful like that. And Yancey Forest-Knowles and Dr. Wayne Capooth, two accomplished old-school duck hunters who grew up hunting the Pacific Flyway and Mississippi Flyway, respectively, and are well aware of it. Their passions led them to…

No Science No Duck Hunting?

no science no duck huntingRegards Australia Duck Hunting, anti-hunters claim that ducks are 75% below the survey long-term average, including a 58% decline from 2020 to 2021. For many it’s a compelling argument despite the survey’s much broader margin of error and decades narrower “long-term average” compared to North Americas breeding population survey.

“There’s not a place anywhere in the world, Australia included, that’s even a close second to what we have in place in North America,” said Ramsey Russell, who, as proprietor of GetDucks.com, is a leading expert on worldwide waterfowling “It’s uniquely American. We’re passionate about the resource, we care about its perpetuity, and we’ve created a multi-billion dollar system that funds state, federal, and university monitoring.”

Lacking this level of population and hunter harvest data, it’s far more challenging to counter a claim that ducks are declining and hunting is to blame. Brice experienced this while attending Victoria’s “Select Committee” hearings on duck hunting…

The 28-Gauge Shotgun Can Kill Ducks as Effectively as a 12-Gauge

Benelli 28-gauge
Ramsey Russell of getducks.com shooting his Benelli ETHOS Cordoba in 28-gauge. For the past 2 seasons, he’s traveled throughout North America shooting a Benelli 28-gauge almost exclusively for everything from blue-winged teal, giant Canada geese, common eiders and everything in between.

The days of steel non-toxic shot are over and modern sportsmen have many high-quality shot options available. Leading the sub-gauge revolution is BOSS Shotshells’ copper-plated bismuth-tin allow, which patterns like lead and retains about 80% the downrange energy. Couple with Benelli 28-gauge (available in both Ethos and Super Black Eagle platforms), it’s a no-brainer. But size matters?! No way. A number 4 pellet is a number 4 pellet is a number 4 pellet. Ballistically, a number 4 BOSS Shotshell pellet delivers about the same punch as a number 5 lead pellet of the glory days. For the past 2 seasons, I’ve shot 28-gauge almost exclusively throughout the United States and Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, and from the Canadian prairies to the Gulf of Mexico. Using the Benelli and BOSS Shotshells combination, have bagged everything from blue-winged teal to giant Canada geese.  Proving it’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog, dabblers, divers, seaducks, and all North American goose species have been felled. So light you hardly no you’re carrying it, the Benelli 28-gauge has little recoil. Reduced noise reduces disturbance (have heard many clubs mandated sub-gauge rounds for this very reason). Know you’re pattern, take ethical shots, make clean kills.  Join the revolution and give it a try. You won’t regret it.

It’s Always Duck Season Somewhere: Ramsey Russell Pursues Waterfowl to the Ends of the Earth

Ramsey RussellOne of the reasons Ramsey Russell GetDucks started on this journey was to live life to the fullest and to hunt game in places where he could be transported–if only for a little while–to a time before mankind made it’s mark upon the planet. “And that’s getting more difficult to find in the year 2023,’ he says.

“Ducks were around a long time before we were, and I want to find them living as they did before humans were here,” he says. “Before agriculture. Before civilization.”

Ramsey Russell Get Ducks

Ramsey Russell Get DucksRealizing that there is duck season open in some part of the world every day of the year, Ramsey Russell began exploring different locations far and near that could be accessed and hunted.  His online booking business, GetDucks.com, begun in 2003, gained momentum as he traveled to Argentina and Canada setting up hunts.  Soon he and his wife realized that between his federal government job, his consulting business, and coordinating hunting trips, there were not enough hours in the day, a decision and a path forward had to be made.  It wasn’t easy to leave a government job with all the benefits and security, but Ramsey felt a calling, felt it was fate that he may have this opportunity, and in 2010 he turned in his resignation papers and jumped full time into exploring and setting up waterfowl hunting adventure trips all over the world.

He has been able to set up trips to places heretofore unknown to the hunting and sporting community.  Places like Azerbaijan, Peru, South Africa, Australia, Pakistan, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Argentina, among others, are exotic and lucrative locations where Ramsey pre-hunts, sets up, and then sometimes hosts hunts.  He has hunted on six continents and spends almost 225 days a year pursuing his passion.

Ramsey Russell is living the life of his dreams. He travels the world immersing himself in different and varied cultures meeting people from all walks of life, centered around a common love of wild fowling. He attributes his chance to be part of bringing a shared sporting opportunity to thousands of people to fate and responding to what God laid before him. In an article by Brian Broome in USA Today (Hunting Around the World), Ramsey states, “I almost died. You can’t take life for granted. You’re one breathe away from not having it. I learned that at too young of an age. Life is about living, not just doing. It made me very thirsty to live life at its fullest. It’s a mighty big world, but I’m going to see it.”
